It contains security interests which are registered with respect to personal property (including objects or assets).

The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner uses assets they own to secure the funding. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home, or an company asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
